- Add the sweet and hot peppers and saute over low heat until the sweet peppers are tender. Stir in the stock and return the garlic to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
- Just before serving, warm each of four soup plates, then place a crouton in each plate. Carefully break an egg on top of each crouton then ladle the simmering soup over the egg and crouton. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.

Steps:
- Peel the garlic cloves and chop them coarsely.

- Strain the garlic and reserve the cooking liquid. Put the garlic and a half cup of the reserved cooking liquid in a blender or food processor and blend to a fine puree. Put the remaining cooking liquid in a saucepan and add the puree. Bring to a boil. Add the vermicelli. Stir and cook for about four minutes. Do not overcook.
- Meanwhile, blend the egg yolks and vinegar in a bowl.
- Turn off the heat under the saucepan. Drop in the egg whites. Do not stir. They will form a cloudlike mixture. Add the egg yolk mixture and stir very slowly. Serve immediately.
